Abstract | PURPOSE OF REVIEW: RECENT FINDINGS: In the 18-month span of this review, there have been a number of articles published on holmium laser enucleation of the prostate. These studies assessed the safety, efficacy, and durability of this procedure. Among these is the largest study to date providing supporting evidence to the long-term efficacy and safety of holmium laser enucleation of the prostate. Other studies provide compelling evidence to suggest that holmium laser enucleation of the prostate can be used in prostates of any size and can provide long-term durable outcomes. SUMMARY:
